Oriflame The One Colour Unlimited Lipsticks Review,Swatches
What the Company claims:
MRP: Rs.499/- for 1.7g
Shades Available:8
Violet Extreme
Pink Unlimited
Mocha Intensity
Fuchsia Excess
Forever Plum
Endless Red
Always Cranberry
Absolute Blush
I am reviewing the shades Fuchsia Excess and Endless Red today.
It comes in a sleek and slender grey and black packaging..only disadvantage of this packaging is you always get lipstick on the edges when you swivel it up and down. Also, this type of packaging mostly has less qty of lipstick like this one has only 1.7g
These are very moisturising, you don’t need any lip balm of any sort with these. They have sheer to medium coverage and you will need 2-3 swipes for opaque coverage especially for pigmented lips.
These are very glossy and shiny and mostly all the shades are pink and plum based, so I assume this range is targeted more towards the younger category.
It stays for 2-3 hours and I am a bit disappointed with the staying power,reading the 10 hour claim, but very easy to use and touch up. It does not bleed or stain teeth and you can quickly apply it anywhere.
Fuchsia Excess is a pretty blue based fuchsia pink,no neon here,pure fuchsia pink
Endless Red is a wearable,not too bright, light apple red with some fine shimmer
Top- Fuchsia Excess, Bottom- Endless Red
Here is it on me..
Left- Fuchsia Excess, Right- Endless Red
Overall I would say these are nice lipsticks to try,very moisturising,glossy and comes in some lovely shades. If you are looking for something matte or long staying, these are not meant for you. Also, Oriflame lipsticks are mostly on discounts, so do keep a check on the catalog and buy them on discount as they are a bit expensive at Rs.499/- for the quantity of 1.7g

L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Pure Reds Lipsticks Review,Swatches
What the Company claims: Discover a shade of red that is as unique as you are,with the new Pure Reds range of lipsticks by L’Oréal Paris. The range includes 7 exquisite matte shades that are chosen by 7 iconic L’Oréal Paris ambassadors,including Aishwarya Rai,Sonam Kapoor,Freida Pinto and Blake Lively.
The Color Riche Pure Reds Collection is created with a revolutionary and innovative formula that delivers bold,luscious color that lasts for a full 6 hours,making it the ultimate beauty indulgence.The range is enriched with new Light Illum complex that delivers a rich matte effect. The Velvet Fusion capsules and Ultra Gliding Shine Oils provide smooth and silky application.Pure pigments deliver intense color and Jojoba oil gives perfect hydration up to 4 hours.
Today I am reviewing Aishwarya’s Pure Brick, Sonam’s Pure Garnet and Frieda’s Pure Rouge..I couldn’t click the pics and swatches of the rest of the lipstick coz of the accident..I will do a separate post for the remaining shades i.e. Pure Amaranthe, Pure Vermeil, Pure Fire and Pure Scarleto.
It comes in a black square packaging with the matching colored square showing the shade inside with the ambassador’s signature over it to whom the shade is dedicated. Its easy to carry and chic, tough enough and does not break easily as was with some of the Infallible ones. I like how the bullet has the sharp tip in the front making it easier to apply on edges and curves of the lips.
Though the texture is matte, it is not uncomfortably matte or crayon like matte. It goes on smooth without any tugging. It is super duper pigmented, even the swatches took a day to go with rigorous rubbing. I love that these are matte plus moisturising, though a lip balm beneath is advisable, still its not uncomfortable on the lips.
It stays for 6-7 hours and leaves behind a strong tint which stays again 2-3 hours, it survived basic eating and drinking too. I am impressed with the staying power.
Garnet,Rouge,Brick
Aishwarya Rai’s Pure Brick is as named a pure warm,earthy brick red..very wearable and looks pretty as a tint too.
Sonam’s Pure Garnet is a very unique shade..its a pink based red and looks berry wine like in sunlight while a bright,vampy berry indoors.
Freida’s Pure Rouge is a true cool toned bright red, looks like MAC Ruby Woo dupe in arm swatch, but actually Ruby Woo comes up slightly orange on the lips and in pictures while this does not.

The fact about these lipsticks are these look different on everyone..same shade would look way different on you and on someone else..each one has their favourites here. And one is bound to like 3-4 out of these 7.
My favourites are Pure Brick and Pure Amaranthe out of the 4 I have tried..would update with rest later 😀 Also Pure Garnet is a very unique shade which is a must have if you into berry shades. I do sometimes love wearing berry shades.
Overall, I would say these are just perfect in terms of pigmentation,texture,staying power,shade selection, etc..Only thing is these are a little highly priced but I am glad the quantity is 4.2g compared to the 2.5g in Infallible. Highly recommended!

Pure Color Lipsticks have a simple golden packaging..its decent and sturdy enough..they have a very nice mix of pinks, browns and peachy pinks.
The texture is cream finish and is moisturising too..it does not settle into lines and never feels dry..staying power varies from shade to shade..darker shades have a good staying power of 3-4 hours and leaves a tint behind. It has a sweet artificial smell which I did not like much..but it goes away in a few minutes.

612 Red Rose is the new addition in the shades..its a coral red..a much wearable red ! This is the easiest red to carry off for anyone..its not the OTT bright red..and would suit all skin tones.
Pros:
1. Has a good mix of pinks, peaches and brown shades.
2. Has a smooth creamy finish.
3. Does not settle into lines.
4. Very economical.
5. Good staying power of 3-4 hours.
6. Red Rose is a very wearable red..that would suit all skin tones.
Cons:
1. Lotus Herbals is not available everywhere.
2. I do not like the artificial sweet smell.
No other cons as such..I quite like this..and surprisingly they have a good staying power too. Overall Red Rose is an universally flattering pink based red. And good for those who wish to start with bright shades. Check out swatches of all the Lotus Pure Color Lipsticks here
